Distressing police bodycam video shows the moment that a sheriff's deputy shot and killed a Florida man with a violent criminal history. The officer was hanging onto the runaway car as the suspect attempted to make a desperate getaway. Around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday‚ Pasco County Sheriff’s Deputy Christopher Howell approached the vehicle of 40-year-old Paul Smith that was parked at a 7-Eleven in Hudson — roughly 40 miles north of Tampa‚ Florida. Smith‚ who has a violent criminal history‚ was reportedly linked to a battery-by-strangulation case.Police bodycam footage shows Smith seemingly befuddled by being asked to step out of his vehicle by the sheriff's deputy. Smith asked the officer‚ "What's going on? What's the problem?" Smith then feverishly used his car keys to start his vehicle and make a quick getaway. Deputy Howell commanded Smith to get out of the car numerous times‚ but the suspect continued to try to flee the scene. Howell attempted to wrestle Smith out of the vehicle‚ but wasn't able to. Smith was able to start the vehicle and began to drive away with Howell dangling from the open door of the vehicle. The officer used a stun gun to try to subdue the suspect several times in the back and the neck‚ but it did nothing to stop Smith.In the bodycam video‚ the tires of the car can be heard screeching and the engine is loudly revving as Smith tries to make a frantic escape. Howell warned the suspect‚ "You're going to get f***ing shot!" Howell warned Smith five times that he will get shot if he did not stop the vehicle. The suspect did not comply‚ and the officer shot Smith in the back. Smith was seen in the video losing consciousness and then slumping over to the passenger seat. The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said Howell was able to take control of the vehicle. He allegedly performed first aid on the suspect‚ but Smith succumbed to his gunshot injury and died. The Tampa Bay Times reported‚ "Pasco records show several criminal convictions against a Paul Smith in that county‚ including battery and drug charges. Smith was convicted in 2019 of fleeing law enforcement by car‚ aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer‚ and hit-and-run‚ and served three years in state prison."The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting to determine whether it was justified or not. Pasco County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Col. Jeff Harrington defended Howell’s actions as necessary.WARNING: Graphic content Pasco deputy fatally shoots man after fight in car‚ video shows www.youtube.com Like Blaze News?

Houston police are investigating the death of a toddler who was accidentally run over by an Uber driver who had dropped off a family. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said that the Uber driver was dropping off the family at the Greenbriar on the Bayou Apartments at about 1 p.m. on Waverly Drive. Surveillance video showed two adults and a child exiting the gray Volkswagen SUV before the toddler appeared in front of the car. The Uber driver apparently didn't see the girl and drove forward‚ hitting her. The child ended up trapped under the car. The fatal moment is edited from video published by news outlets. The family immediately rushed to attack the man and drag him out of the car. Witnesses rushed to help the child. "I seen a baby on the ground bleeding with a bunch of people hollering. The first thing I said was just give me my keys because I don’t want to wait on no ambulance‚" said a man who didn't want to be identified. The child was transported to the HCA-Kingwood Medical Center‚ but she was later pronounced dead. "I got blood all in my car‚ blood on the side of my car. I tried to save her‚ but I hate she gone man‚" the neighbor continued. "Nobody wanted that to happen‚ nobody want to hurt a kid." The driver was transported to a hospital for treatment of his serious but not life-threatening injuries‚ according to Gonzalez. Police identified the driver as Muhammad Khan and said he was coordinating with the investigation. Khan also did not exhibit any evidence of impairment. Uber released a statement about the incident. “The details of what’s been reported is heartbreaking‚ and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family‚" the statement read. "We have removed the driver’s access to the platform while this investigation is ongoing and are standing by to assist police however we can.” No charges have yet been filed against either the family or Khan‚ but police said they are still investigating the incident. “It’s just an unfortunate tragedy at this point‚” said Lt. K. Benoit of the Harris County Sheriff's office. Many critics on social media blamed the members of the family for leaving their toddler unaccompanied while they exited the car. The toddler was two months away from celebrating her second birthday. Here's the video of the lethal incident: Like Blaze News?
